The FIFA Women rankings were introduced in 2003, 10 years after the men rankings established with an objective yardstick for measuring sporting performance of a number of female national teams across the globe.

Uganda as a country has continued to embrace the trend of Women football from the grassroots to the senior team level.

The national U-17 team is on the verge of a World Cup qualification while the senior team is expected to take part in the Africa Women Cup of Nations qualifers against Burundi at the preliminary round.

At club level, the Fufa Women Super League was established on top of the Fufa Women Elite League and the Fufa Women Cup.

It should be noted that the Women rankings are published only four times in a year, that is in March, June, September and December.
